Hello Andrea, Thank you for your excellent question!
As a JL author, you get regular notifications about your article downloads from Digital Commons (bepress). We do have Google Analytics installed on our site and I can send you more information about access to your article (actual downloads or visits to the article page). This information is tied to IP address associated with the download (academic institutions, commercial bodies, or private) as well as the city/country where it came from. We do have readers from all over the world, including places that are not particularly known for their sympathy for Jewish culture. It is through JL, among other things, that AJL achieves its mission to educate and promote information about "all things Jewish." However, once we leave Digital Commons in a few weeks, our content will be transferred to another system and the author dashboard will not be accessible. I will let authors know before the content is removed, so they can download any past information. The new system will still provide information about JL readership, but it will be done differently. I would like to emphasize that all the content currently online WILL be available on the new system. I take this opportunity to thank the many congratulatory emails I received, both privately and on ha-Safran. Thank you for your kind words and strong support!!!

Is there any specific information about exactly what this means? Does it indicate the domain of an email address that downloaded the article? Is someone or an institution in those far flung lands actually reading the article?
